Today Citrix
joins Silver Lining and 11 national organizations in launching the “Thank
You Small Business” movement that will reach over 25,000 small
businesses across the United States. The campaign shines a spotlight on
small business’ true impact on the national economy and the collective
power of a campaign that brings together big business leaders focused on
changing the economic outlook, one small business at a time.

"I am thrilled to see Thank You Small Business come to fruition. Helping
small businesses grow has been my mission for almost a decade,” said Carissa
Reiniger, founder and CEO of Silver Lining Limited and creator of
Thank You Small Business. “We hope that all the free
events and resources
we have put together for small businesses will give them a big dose of
encouragement and acknowledgement, arming them with a ton of practical
learnings and resources to help them grow.”

The ‘Thank You Small Business’ campaign includes 10
free live events for small business owners to attend, over 20
free webinars for small business to participate in, a campaign to
mail 25,000 thank you cards to real small business owners and to give
thousands of business owners free resources and support in the official
Thank You Small Business Resource
Portal housed on Citrix
Podio. Throughout the campaign, surveys and interviews will be held
and the results will be released in a book, Thank
You Small Business, in May 2013.

“Everyone knows small business is the lifeblood of our economy. ‘Thank
You Small Business’ recognizes the integral role small and medium sized
businesses play in driving economic growth by employing more than half
the U.S. As small businesses look to gain a competitive edge, we are
supporting them through business services that are delivered in the
cloud,” said Brett
Caine, senior vice president and general manager of the Citrix
Online Services division. “We have always built our products and
services with the small business requirements in mind. Our Simpler is
Better TM approach has enabled small businesses to get
started and get value from our products the first time they are used.
Our goal is to deliver far more value than customers expect and offer a
user experience that ‘just works’ every time.”
